Gloiosiphonia Californica (Farlow) J. Agardh. 



On rocks and on wood in the upper sublitoral zone, and even 

 in tide pools in the litoral zone. Prince William Sound, Alaska, 

 Saunders (1901, p. 440) ; Esquimalt, B.C., Tr.A..S'., No. 1869!; 

 Port Angeles, Clallam County, Wash., G. W. Lichtenthaler; 

 Pleasant Beach, Kitsap County, Wash., N.L.G., No. 343! 



This plant was first described by Farlow under Nemastoma, 

 (1877, p. 243), later referred to Gloiosiphonia by J. G. Agardh 

 (1884, p. 10), and still later to Calosiphonia (1899, p. 83). 

 Probably to be included under this species are Ralymenia ligulata 

 Harvey (1862, p. 173) and Gloiosiphonia capillaris Harvey (1862, 

 p. 174), from Escpiimalt, B. C. 



Gloiosiphonia verticillaris Farlow.

 Tilden, No. 205!; near Port Townsend, Wash., N. L.G.I; west 

 coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., N.L.G., No. 169! 



Apparently a very rare species in the region of Puget Sound. 

 It occurs also on the coast of California, but unless it is detected 

 at the period of growth (spring), it might be searched for in 

 vain.
